Jim White wants to fill the top-flight void!Call 0333 202 2177 to get your football fix

Those in need of a football fix should simply dial 0333 202 2177, to hear the concerned voice of Jim White, who, with tongue firmly in cheek, will rescue them from their despair.

Once the caller has selected their Barclays Premier League team, they will be able to hear their side’s glorious goals, brought to life by the unmistakable voice of Martin Tyler and fellow commentators, - all of which were captured on Sky Sports during the 2013/14 season.

Jim White said:"I can sympathise with all of those fans out there – until Sky Sports asked me to help out on the GoalLine I was on the brink - I simply had no idea how I was going to cope over these next few weeks! I couldn’t be happier knowing that we’ll be doing our bit to help fans relive their team’s greatest moments of last season, reminding them that we’ll be back with them every kick of the way, with more of the games that matter live on Sky Sports from August 16."

More games that matter

Hayley McQueen, who joined Jim to launch the GoalLine, said: “We’re always engaging with our viewers on Sky Sports News, and from what they were saying it was clear a helpline was needed to fill the void of top-flight football. We’re both fully on board and ready to do our upmost to support fans during this testing time!”

It will be available until the Barclays Premier League season starts on August 16, with more of the games that matter shown on Sky Sports, your home of football. Join in the conversation online with #GoalLine.
